Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (Paperback)

Staff Reviews

Two of fantasy's most prolific writers team up, and it's exactly as hilarious as you'd expect. Good Omens seamlessly combines Gaiman's dark humor with Pratchett's sharp wit in this tale of a ragtag group trying to stop the apocalypse, including an odd couple-esque book-loving angel and fast-car-obsessed demon, the teenage antichrist and his best friends, and a descendant of the only accurate (and therefore, wildly unpopular) prophet known to man. Nonstop fun!

Description

The world will end on Saturday. Next Saturday. Just before dinner, according to The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch, the world's only completely accurate book of prophecies written in 1655. The armies of Good and Evil are amassing and everything appears to be going according to Divine Plan. Except that a somewhat fussy angel and a fast-living demon are not actually looking forward to the coming Rapture. And someone seems to have misplaced the Antichrist.

Put New York Times bestselling authors Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett together . . . and all Hell breaks loose.
